The Garfield Pedestal Fund and
The Seven Wonders Of The
World.

World.
1t is very evident that the funds
for the pedestal of the Garfield
statue, CINCINNATI, can not be
raised by popular subscription,
we propose therefore to try
another plan, and to follow up
our maiden proposition until the
amount is secured. The next
effort will in the shape of a prize

accruing, will be appropriated as
follows:
Twenty-Five cents will be turned
over to the trustees of the Garfield
Pedestal Fund.
The remaining twenty-five cents
will be devoted to legitimate ex-
penses, such as a fair advertis-
ment of the contest, and to the
formation ola fund, to be divided
amongst the four competitors who
shall have the most complete list
of the SEVEN WONDERS as indicated
by majority of those received.
Of course, the amount of the prize
will depend upon the number of
contestants.

AN INDIAN WAR.
Col. Hatch Thinks There Is Prob
ability of One if Extreme Care Is
Not Taken.

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY. Nov. 4.-COl. Hatch,
commandant at Fort Robinson, passed
through this place few days ago on his
way to the Crow reservation in Southern
Montana. Col. Hatch is an old Indian
fighter and Indian manager. He will
be remembered as having been in charge
of the reservation at the time of the Ute
affair, in which Meeker and his ill-fated
companions were slaughtered. His
opinion is that there is quite sure to be
an Indian uprising next spring unless
the WlSeSt repreSSive measures are
adopted by the government i'll the mean
time. His opinion is founded, first,
upon the necessary effects of the gov
ernment's mistaken policy in gradual
ing its bounty, not upon the good but
upon the bad behavior of Indians. The
peaceable, industrious tribes are
awarded smaller rations than the turbu-
lent, refractory ones, on the plea of
false economy and false morals, that
when an Indian becomes industrious he
must be assumed to be partly self-sup-
porting, and so the government can cut
off part of his rations; and that if an
Indian is bad he must be fed and cod
died with larger ratiOnS. Thus it comes
about that the Utes, Sioux and others,
who have committed the worst outrages
and given the government most trouble,
have twice the ratiOns voted them by
congress that the YanktOnS and other
good Indians do; and the Crows. whose
boast it is that they

A County Commissioner Fight
and Local Option Stirring the
People Up---Forcing Votes on
the Division Question.
Special to the Globe.
LISBON, Nov. 4.-The local politicians
have got their war paint on, pre-
paratory to finish next Tuesday. The
principal interest in Ransom county is
the choice of county commissioners
from the Second and Fifth districts, and
the friends of rival aspirants have be-
are hot and still heating-and some
heavy betting on the result in these dis
tricts is being made. The next question
of interest is that of local option, and
the temperance peple are sup and do
ing" and have been and still are con-
Quoting vigorous campaign. TO-mOr-
row temperance speeches will be deliv-
cred by the best available local talent
in nearly every school house i'll the
county and also at the usual places in
the towns. They all admit that local
option is an experiment that may prove
a failure, but it seems that local senti-
ment has been educated up to desire
to give it trial, and then:if it fails. to
go back to high license. The division
question is entirely outshadowed, but
few caring howit is decided. However,
the vote on division will not be light,
for all questions up for disposal in every
county must be voted for on one ballot,
and every ticket that will be printed for
use next Tuesday will bear an express
sion of either flor" or against di-
vision. In that way much heavier
vote on this scheme will be called out
than would otherwise appear. The
way the tickets will be printed will be
really forcing the issue.

The Moody Enterprise, one OF the
leading Republican papers of the South,
reflects wide sentiment when it says
it regards the question of division as OF
minor importance as compared with
that of speedy admission into the Union.
The Enterprise prefers TO live ina great
state. Division, it says, means either
the surrender of the name Dakota, or It's
use with handle. 1t means also that
that wonderful array of figures showing
the marvellous growth Of DakOta-the
like of which has never before been
known-must be laid on the shelf. to be
covered with dust until at some future
day they are hunted up to show what
might have been" There is. as seen
by the paper referred TO, a powerful
human instructive fOndness for great
things. Many man is elected alder
man or sent to congress simply on ac-
count Of his avOirdupOis. People flock
to large cities because they are great.
and the Enterprise thinks the same VIII
hold good with states and says that II
admitted as a whole, the ''great state'
of Dakota must by virtue of its great
size, its unparalleled record OF growth,
itsincomparably great natural resources,
its magnificent future prospects, have
magical attraction for men and capital
which will be almost wholly lost if il is
reduced by division to states no larger
than those which surround it.

they now, knowing that the said lands
are public lands, and accepting in good
faith the assurance of the government,
shall desire to hold these lands by pre-
emption or homestead entry, they may
do SO, and they will have such prefer
ence as the government may be able to
extend to them in the matter of the ac-
ceptance of their declaratory state
ments. There is strong possibility OF
much litigation by duplicate filings on
the same sections and quarter sections.
Men will especially endeavOr to punish
their enemies as well as benefit them
selves by settling upon and claiming the
very lands which families have re-
garded as their permanent homes. The
general land office will endeayor to pro-
feet such persons as far as possible.
But it will not do for those who now
hold the lands to allow time to pass
without filing their declarations. 1t
will not do for them to fail to give no
tee of their holdings and their inten-
ton and desire to retain their lands
under the new order of things. The
general land Office
CANNOT BECOME THE ATTORNEY

upon those lands who do not look after
/ their own rights. The local officers, the
registers and receivers, have no knowl-
edge that any of the lands are so Occu-
pied. They simply know that the lands
are now part of the public domain,
upon which any citizen or persons who
have declared their intention to become
citizens, may settle and make en-
fries. Unless those who now
lave possession shall notify the
said local land Officers, they will be
likely to lose their homes. OF course,
this will not apply to bonanza farmers

HURON, Nov. As election day
approaches the interest in division
and temperance matters increases. For
the past two weeks the diviSiOnists have
been remarkably lively, and before the
close of the present week will have
everything in readiness for next Tues
days work. The vote here and in this
county will be almost solid for division.
The only thing to be feared is that too
many will take it for granted that the
vote will be largely in favor of division,
and will be Indifferent about voting.
This is being provided against by dele
eating certain persons in each voting
precinct to see that the full vote is
pOlled. The executive committee has
sent circular letters to all parts of the
country presenting arguments in favor
of division. and urging the voters to be
at the polls early and make Tuesday,
Nov. s, a holiday. Business men gen.
orally are active in the work, and giving
their time and contributing money,
where necessary. toward achieving the
success so greatly desired.

BISMARCK. Nov. 4.-EX-Gov. Pierce
should explain why over $4,000 was
warranted out of the territorial treasury
without authority of law during his adj
ministration. An examination of militia
expenditures during the two years end
ing March IL, 1887, diScloSeS most re-
markable state of facts. Not only was
the appropriation of $4,000 per annum
for militia purposes fully expended, but
there was paid out of the general fund
of the territory over $4,000, and all
vouchers for this fragrant and unauthor-
lied expenditure bear the written ap-
prevail of EX-Gov. Pierce. 1t is shown
as follows:

1t is understood here that a copy of
the above statement has been furnished
eX-Gov. Pierce. In view of the facts as
above stated, his explanation in this
saturdays Dakota edition of the Pho
neer Press will be of interest.
Watch and see how the item of S14.-
1929 is explained.
That it will be explained someway
there is no doubt: for is not Mr.. Pierce
exceedingly watchful of the peoples in
terest. and was not the whole editions of
the Pioneer Press given over to the
indignant ex-governor that his bugle
blast might be heard protesting against
the payment of S14.75 by Auditor Ward
to the board of health, which was
thought at the time to be legally APP
pointed. And where was Caldwell dur
ing this free-fOr-all, go-as-you-please
way of doing business? caldwell would
not warrant anything out of the treas
ury not authorized by law"
If Gov. Pierce and Caldwell could war
rant money out of the treasury without
the trouble of appropriation bills, why
not abolish the legislature altogether?
The question grows more complicated
as it is gone into. In fact, Gilbert. Cald-
well and the militia seem to be all
mixed up.
